HELPFUL TIPS MAKING PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

• When making frosting or glazes remember if your frosting is a bit too thick just add a touch more milk. If the consistency is too thin for pipping add more confectioners sugar.
• This frosting is great for both piping and spreading on a 9 x 13 inch chocolate cake. 
• If you plan to frost your cupcakes with a fancy tip you may need to double the recipe. I can usually get about 12 cupcakes when generously piping them.  You will however be able to frost a 9 x 13 inch cake with one batch. 

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
